How do you throw out a garbage can, assuming no dumpster is available?
This might be the biggest dilemma facing modern society since the "over/under" toilet paper issue first came to light.

7. Pfft! A stop-gap measure, at best!
What happens when you want to throw out that larger can, hmm?

10. Well, once you've worked up to the largest trash can on the planet,
(which top scientists estimate would take you at least 6.3 life times to achieve, so I don't think it's a realistic concern), then you just dynamite that mofo and start over...

Or, you could skip straight to the dynamite for your original can - it's both fun and effective!

11. Dynamiting one's original can is extremely dangerous!
And it leaves you no place to sit.

8. Put it on the curb ...
... with a sign that says "Antique garbage can for sale - $50 or best offer".

It will be gone by morning.
